This is a tough day for everyone at Ebonite International. Nobody should be feeling sorry for me. Whatever happens from here i will be fine. The people that worked in the plant, the office and on the road are the ones that truly need your thoughts. Brutal day.
What an incredible day this has been. Super surreal I don’t even know where to begin. My
@HammerBowling
family has stuck by me all these years. I can’t thank them enough. Thanks for the all the messages I appreciate everyone of them.
I’ve had it with the distraction nonsense. If we don’t create an environment where it’s ok to sneeze or cough without fear of a stare down nobody is going to show up.
So happy for my boy
@JBelmo
. You can think whatever you want about two handed bowling but my man has done things in this game that no one has ever done. He’s the best of our generation by a mile and people should be in awe like they were with Earl, Pete and WRW.
I still can’t believe yesterday happened. What a roller coaster of emotions. I have such a great team behind me and that new

People always ask me what it’s like getting to travel with Belmo. Well today I had to check out at 11 so I have 7+ hours to kill until the show is over. Went to Target, walked the mall, now in a Starbucks watching the Sixers game. What a honor it is.
Wow 🤩

Picked up Gavin from school today:
Me: What did you do in school today, bud?
Gav: I don’t remember
Me: Cool
Gav: Daddy, did you know Joe Harris shot 82.7% from the line last year?
Me: But you don’t remember what you did for the last 7 hours?
Gav: No
Me: Great
GOAT: Joel Embiid Under 46.5 Pts + Reb
This may be the GREATEST PLAY OF ALL TIME as NO CENTER HAS BEATEN THIS LINE vs the Timberwolves in 114 STRAIGHT regular season games and this year they allow the 2nd LEAST Points to Centers and the LEAST Rebounds to Centers and it’s been
Feeling extra pressure to win the US Open this week after the convo I had with a fella at the pro am.

The PBA Player of the Year voting has started. I just want to make it clear that if I win it was a completely fair process with no exceptions. If I lose I can assure you that it was rigged and stolen by the fake news media. Belmo propagandist(

Bowling is a really hard game to understand if you’re not familiar with it and especially if you’re thrust into the broadcasting booth.
@John_Fanta
has done an incredible job learning the game and its terminology in a pretty short amount of time.
Hats off to Kris who bowled great. Played the lanes like an idiot. Should have made playing straight work and stayed away from the middle. This one will sting for a while.
The only bright spot of having a bad week is getting to come home and watch Gavin ball. He said to me this morning he was going to get buckets for Kobe. My man dropped 22 today.
Not attending the Luci Doubles this weekend stinks. The blame falls on my selfish partner
@ShannonOKeefe
for wanting to bowl for her country instead of me.
Thanks to everyone who sent messages today. Pretty tough not being able to compete but I’m focused on getting healthy and trying to be back for the Tournament of Champions.
Will not be conceding tonight. Lot of things that have to be litigated here. Many under reported stats that were left off the ballot that would have swung votes. Will push for a re vote once the “makes life way easier for travel partner” category gets added.
@Bill_ONeill
@KyleTroupPBA
Couldn’t understand why u threw the same ball, in the same spot on the lane 4 the wash out spare you missed 2 frames prior. You make that 2nd washout, you advance. Very uncharacteristic of you. Your game is awesome, definitely will be seeing you on the TV stepladder finals again.
Too close for comfort for Butturff as he advances to the PBA Tour Finals Championship Match vs. Ej Tackett. Watch live now on CBS Sports Network.

Definitely not disappointed with how I bowled today but still frustrating it didn’t go my way. Looking forward to being home for a few days and then on to the Masters.
While I’m bummed the WSOB was cut short I’m proud of the
@PBATour
and the players for making the right call and postponing the remainder of the events. No idea when bowling will resume but definitely happy to be going home and spending time with the family.
So nice of
@JBelmo
to offer to buy

dinner. Hopefully he can collect on that sooner than the dinner I have yet to receive from over 2 months ago.

We didn’t get it down today but so thankful that I got to be a part of Norms last event. It’s not only been an honor to compete with him in this event but to be able to say I bowled side by side with him for the last 17 years has been special.
Watching the game with my neighbors who lost their son, who was a huge eagles fan, last March. They are wearing 41 jerseys with their son Masons name on the back.
@eagles
scored 41 tonight. I’m crying.
BREAKING: After testing positive for the coronavirus Sunday morning, Bill O’Neill will not participate in his PBA Players Championship regional stepladder.
Feels good to get back in the winners circle by myself with the help of only myself and the great

ball reps. Literally no body else. Thx to
@JBelmo
for taking this picture with me holding my other trophy.
Christi: So if Houston scores here the game is over and Buffalo doesn’t get a chance.
Me: Yes
Christi: Why? That’s so stupid
Me: I don’t know I wasn’t in the league meetings.
Christi: So dumb..... Wait that guys name is Booger?

I get to bowl one last time with one of my favorite bowlers ever. I have been lucky enough to bowl with Norm in this event for years now. Hopefully we can bring this one home for him.
Being the

seed is incredible and I can’t wait for tomorrow but I’m just as happy about how great my hair looks in this graphic. Shout to my guy Pete at Choppers barber shop in Levittown.

I wanted to take my son to the
@sixers
game tonight for Hardens first home game. Told me no because he couldn’t miss his teams practice. Can’t decide if I’m really proud of him or very angry. I wanted to go to the game.
I haven’t been this mentally and physically exhausted after a tournament in a long time. This center is brutal. The guys who made this show have certainly earned it.
Wow! Thanks to all of our amazing fans for tuning in Sunday and helping to set this record ❤️🎉
Let's raise the bar even higher this weekend, shall we? 😉
Two events in a row where we had to roll it at the gutter. Guess the lanes are going to play the same every week. (Sorry just figure unnecessary complaining is my ticket to the title match for the next one.)
Today I said goodbye to the greatest mother a son could ever ask for. The outpouring of love our family has received over the past couple of weeks has meant a lot to us. Life will never…
